Just make sure to land on the cushy new bed.
We spent our first night on our new bed last night (new mattress & box, same old IKEA frame), it was a big improvement. Not just because it's never been peed on by an overzealous cat. It's firm and supportive, but with a plush top to make it just squishy enough for comfortable positioning. No more waking up with an achy hip and shoulder from lying on my side. I'm very happy that we got to buy it on Saturday afternoon and have it delivered by noon yesterday. Which also gave us time to go to IKEA and buy the storage cabinets we've been eyeing up. Operation Get Your Act Together is coming on apace, we've rediscovered the roll-top desk under the piles of papers, the new storage cabinets will facilitate actual organizing of the stuff we're not throwing out. Matt has also freed up about 5-6 linear feet of shelving by deciding to take all of his computer and networking books to fill the book case in his new office/cubicle. I got lucky and found mince pies and christmas pud at Cost Plus, so I laid in a stash of the little pies for family Christmas, and one box to save for my birthday in a month and a half. Matt has his mp3 player, I have my red shoes, the Christmas presents we each picked for ourselves. Yesterday I ordered a new cell phone, today I am plotting the final few things I am going to purchase for gift-giving. I feel like we're going a bit spendy-crazy, but I know that the things we're buying are all useful, and we're not breaking the bank. More like making up for the past year and a half of saving really hard for Matt to go to university full time. For Christmas, family members are mostly getting Goddess Kaffeina tea, or some interesting sweet from Cost Plus. My parents and sister are each getting a scarf from me. I'd better finish schwestie's ASAP, I've still got about a foot to go before it's done.
Phew. I need a nap. On my new bed. Pity I'm at work.

Those shoes! They are so very lovely.
How are the cats? Haven't heard a thing about them since you offered to post us one...
They are behaving themselves pretty well. Marble is currently flopped in my lap purring and snoring, on her back, I'm holding her like a baby to prevent her from rolling off.
If your kitties tend to pee, or even just occasionally pee on your bed, make your life with your new mattress a happier and easier one: get one of those rubber thingummies that are sold to protect mattresses against incontinent children or adults, and put it on your bed. It should work fine to protect it from incontinent kitties, too.
I have also had cats whose mantra was apparently To Pee or Not to Pee ...
